Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint
SharePoint is used as a general collaboration tool and a content publishing and management tool across the whole organization. Its ability to extend traditional IT services to a more of a self help model has greatly improved speed of delivery in many areas of our business. It has been a part of our IT Landscape since 2004
- Content and records management.
- Collaborative development of MS office deliverables.
- Enabling business users to manage their own data and information with minimal IT support.
- Many people believe it is a one size fits all and that it is a robust application framework for development. It is a decent enough framework for simpler tasks but too many people think it appropriate for more complicated applications and it is not.
- Many think it will replace the need for NAS based collaborative file systems nut for an engineering and manufacturing organization the breadth of it file types and sizes does not make it a great use case.
- The self enablement of business processes is a great selling point but if not carefully managed it will enable Shadow IT implementations that will make the support of the SP platform more perilous.
- Standard platform for Office content development and and management
Probably the best cost effective content management platform supporting a wide variety of use cases.
